Comments on: Ahhhh Crumpets http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/07/15/ahhhh-crumpets/ The slightly eccentric eating and cooking adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

They're really worth it :) Hi Duckey-For some reason I thought you might need special crumpet making tools so I was pleasantly surprised to see that it didn’t. They’re really worth it :)

I have been making crumpets with my sourdough starter lately, which is fast and easy, I found the recipe at http://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/RecipeDisplay?RID=R58 I would like to make the plain yeast ones, just out of curiosity to see how they compare with the sourdough ones. And because you made very good pictures and made me hungry just looking at them ^^ Karen Cool, will have to try that.

I just made English muffins, a cousin of the crumpet, with a recipe that lets the dough rise overnight. Then in the morning you just need about 40 minutes: 20 minutes for shaping and resting, and 20 minutes for cooking in a pan. Maybe something similar could be achieved with crumpets, so you don't have to get up so early? These look so appetizing!

I bought two packets of crumpets today..and thought Crumpet toast was just a gimmick. I've frozen a pack.. and had a couple of slices before, toasted with strawberry Philadelphia cream cheese. Indeed crumpets go mouldy quickly. I thought it was because it had little preservatives, but not true! Re: the ‘Tip Top’ comment: Gosh..

So I can only guess it's a possum! Hi Maria-I was the same, I never considered making them until I saw how easy it was :D You're more than welcome! Hi Lisa-Oh no! What a bummer after spending so much time on them :( Definitely give this recipe a try and if you do please let me know how you go! Hi airy fairy-I know, the 2 hours was hard to find :lol: Yes actually they would be great for afternoon tea, great idea! Hi cyn-Sometimes only spongey soft risen goodness will do! :D
